Registration opens on Monday for the 2019 Boston Marathon

Sunday

The Boston Athletic Association will use the same process to register qualified runners as it used in the 2012 through 2018 Boston Marathons, allowing the fastest qualifiers to register first, according to a release from the B.A.A. Registration will be held entirely online at www.baa.org.

Applicants for the 2019 Boston Marathon must meet the designated time standard that corresponds with their age group and gender in a certified marathon on or after Sept. 16, 2017. Proof of qualification must accompany each athlete's application, and participants are required to be 18 years or older on race day (April 15, 2019). All standards below are based on official submitted net time, and age groups are determined based on a participant’s age on Boston Marathon race day.

The B.A.A. has set the field size for the 2019 Boston Marathon at 30,000 official entrants.
